"If you meet the forest, you will be rich, if you meet the mountain, you will be prosperous, and if you meet the water, you will stop." This was left to Lu by his master, Elder Zhizhen, before he went to Suoguo Temple in Tokyo. It is these four sentences that hint at Lu's life.
When Lu left Wutai Mountain for the fifth time, Elder Zhizhen gave Lu his third son.
Extended data:
Allusion: Speaking of forests, Lu's wild pig forest saved Lin Chong and offended Gao Qiu. Lu set fire to the vegetable garden. Since then, he has been living in rivers and lakes and embarked on a unique road of no return.
Make a fortune when you meet a mountain: green-faced beasts like Lu and Yang Zhi, and knife-wielding ghosts like Cao Zheng, tried their best to seize Erlong Mountain as king, and Lu became the owner of the cottage. Later, Song Wu, Shi En, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang all became outlaws, and Erlong Mountain gradually became stronger.
When you meet a mountain, you will be rich, referring to Erlong Mountain. As the leader of Erlong Mountain, Lu is rich in financial resources, especially with many like-minded brothers around him, so he is naturally satisfied.
Waterfront prosperity: Later, because the imperial court wanted to wipe out the three mountains, including Erlong Mountain, Sanshan Mountain and Liangshan Mountain, they joined forces against the imperial court. Later, all three mountains belonged to Liangshan, and Lu joined Liangshan. When Lu was in Liangshanbo, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and was brave and good at fighting. At that time, Liangshan ranked first, thirteenth and first among all infantry units.
Later, the Liangshan hero was recruited by the court, and Lu also went into battle to kill the enemy. Also captured Fang La alive, made a great contribution. The "water" that thrives on water refers to Liangshan, Shui Bo. After joining Liangshan, Lu began to truly realize his own value, doing justice for heaven, killing the rich and helping the poor, punishing evil and promoting good.
Stop at a river: Some people will think of Song Jiang, probably because Song Jiang insisted on wooing, which ruined the lives of many Liangshan brothers and chilled their hearts, so they said "stop at a river". This "river" refers to Qiantang River. After conquering Fang La, Lu refused to accept the imperial reward and became a monk in Liuhe Temple.
Elder Zhizhen also gave him four other words, "Catch in summer, hold wax, listen to the tide, and be silent when you see the letter." Xiahou Cheng and Fang La were captured alive before the first two sentences, then understood the meaning, and died shortly after hearing the news of the high tide in Qiantang River.
